These brushes are so stiff (even after washing and conditioning) and plastic that they leave terrible brush marks when using acrylics on canvas. I intended them for just painting the background on an entire canvas for a class I am teaching for free. I will try to use them anyway--maybe a second coat of paint will cover up the brush marks.

The price of this product compared to similar, competitive alternatives is:

Overpriced

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
